Everything you need to know about our brand new Special Collection dedicated to breast health

by Lingling Tian, Jennifer Lovick, and Samantha Taylor

Breast health is a vital field of study with significant impact worldwide, particularly due to breast cancer being a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Recognizing its importance, Clinical Medicine Insights: Oncology, Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, and Women’s Health have launched a Special Collection titled "Navigating Breast Health: From Screening to Survivorship."
This initiative aims to address the complexities of breast health and highlight the need for awareness, early detection, and innovative research. Major advancements have been made in breast imaging, diagnosis, and personalized medicine, yet research gaps persist in areas like risk assessment and treatment efficacy. By uniting our oncology and women's health journals, we strive to enhance understanding, bridge these gaps, and improve breast health outcomes.
